‘Promised son I won’t cry over his sacrifice’
As the body of Gurnam Singh wrapped in the Tricolour arrived at his home, his mother Jaswant Kaur kept the promise made to her son not to cry over his sacrifice.
The family is proud of the sacrifice made by the 26-year-old in the line of duty but demanded a specialised hospital in his name for the border guards and troops injured on IB and LoC to help save their lives. Holding back her tears, Gurnam’s mother said, “I will not cry. I have promised this to my son. Gurnam once said mummy, don’t cry if I sacrifice my life for the nation. I said I won’t...he made us proud. We are proud of his martyrdom”. A pall of gloom descended on Gurnam’s native village Bhalesar Magowali in RS Pura tehsil, which
RS PURA (JAMMU):
is close to the Indo-Pakistan border as the body of the jawan arrived.
The jawan’s mother requested the Modi government to set up a separate BSF hospital. “We want a specialised hospital for border guards to save their lives. Only demand from Modi Government is fora separate BSF hospital. We are worried about all our sons (border guards on IB)”, Kaur said.
